Hey John, it’s Hannah Pingree.

It’s been an incredibly difficult week in Maine. But if there’s one big takeaway from what’s going on right now, it’s this:

Governors matter. When the Trump administration embraces chaos or overreaches its authority, governors are the first line of defense. They have a responsibility to protect their communities and lead with courage. As governor, that's exactly what I'll do.

But before we win this fight, we need to win this election, and I need your help. Tonight, our first public reporting period is over, and we will see where everyone running for governor stands on fundraising. Will you give a $10 donation before midnight to help us show the strength of this grassroots campaign and build the momentum we need to win in November?

John, this is our first big deadline since the primary, so this filing will be the first real snapshot of where this race stands.

No matter where I go in Maine, one thing is clear: our state faces big challenges that demand bold solutions.

Because the stakes couldn't be higher. From targeting our communities with ICE raids to attacks on the programs Maine families rely on, the Trump administration is making life harder – not easier. That's why this election is about choosing a governor who will fight back and deliver real results.

Because Maine deserves leadership that meets this moment. I'm running to be a governor who shows up for every community, stands up for every Mainer, and never backs down from doing what's right. That's the campaign we're building together.

I’m ready to be a strong, bold governor for all of Maine, and with your support, we can continue to build the momentum it will take to win this November.

Tonight's deadline is about proving that this campaign has the strength to do exactly that.

Tonight's fundraising deadline is our first chance in the general election to show that this campaign has the support, momentum, and strength to win. Will you give $10 before midnight to invest in our campaign and give us the boost we need?

Thank you for your support,

Hannah Pingree
